Hi,

I think I have to give up.

I failed to properly build the package. I followed steps 1-3, changed the 
sources to unstable to get the latest for everything (BTW it's interesting to 
see that the ia32-libs package in unstable is built from squeeze sources), and 
tried to update the package list to satisfy the changed dependencies. I gave 
up when openssl1.0.0 didn't find libcrypto.so which is its own thing. By that 
time mesa was already built, so I tried to replace the installed files with the 
ones I just built, but apparently the package creation scripts are wrong. They 
build mesa with --enable-shared-glapi but fail to install libglapi.so. Maybe 
the problem with openssl is similar.

I removed the mesa files installed from the ia32-libs package, copied the built 
files into /usr/lib32, and added my own glapi.so built as 32 bit from mesa git. 
It didn't work, 32 bit glxinfo fails with this:
./glxinfo32: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: 
_glapi_tls_Dispatch
